@evanprodromou Just so I'm sure I understood this correctly: this is for people making software (or similar) for publishing on the fediverse not to fund creators doing their thing, right?

@jfml It’s for both. The idea is that creators find developers to work with, or vice versa, and put together a proposal.

They launch a new channel/publication/portfolio/podcast/videostream/whatever or bring an existing one to the Fediverse. Ideally, the developers help with the technology.

The creators identify gaps in functionality in the platform. Some get fixed, others are just reported.

The point is to make the Fediverse more fun and interesting for users like me, and easier and more attractive for creators.

@jfml @evanprodromou it's both. We are funding creator/developer teams.

Did you post this on the Big Tech platforms as well? If so, do let us know their URL's, so we can promote the call there as well. That's where we want the developers and content creators to come from ► to the Fediverse 🙏🏽😊
